Quick update: The number of l33t hoarders who have PM'd me is a little under my initial projections, so if you're holding back because you were (naturally) concerned I'd be flooded with multiple copies of this track, I'm here to tell you your discretion is appreciated but there's still room for you on the good ship SS topleybird. Go ahead and reach right out. I'm here for you.

The gem of this set is the studio version of “Let Me Give The World To You,” produced by Rick Rubin. The rough MACHINA 2 version has long been a favorite of mine, but this studio version will be the one I play for years to come. It opens with a quieter more subdued version of the riff heard in the MACHINA 2 version, leading into a more midtempo ballad take on the song, kind of in the vein of “Disarm.” Strings come in during the chorus, and later during verses. There are some really beautiful melodic guitar parts sprinkled throughout the song in subsequent verses. The last minute of the song features a Beatlesque refrain of the chorus to end the song, which Corgan nails vocally. This easily could have been the lead single off of Adore had it made the album, listening to this makes me wonder why a studio head didn’t demand Corgan put this on the album, as this could easily fit in on a Smashing Pumpkins Greatest Hits album.
